Thought this would be a great book to get on my Kindle, but when viewing the Sample on a Kindle, and comparing it to "Look Inside" on the print version, the first image I came across (where it compares state shapes to other countries) was different.

- Look Inside/Print version had Wisconsin, Lake Michigan, South Carolina, and California. - Kindle Sample has South Carolina and California duplicated.

I was ready to purchase this book until I saw the differences, which took all of 10 seconds. Can someone explain why a) this was overlooked, or b) if it's supposed to be this way, why?

I forwarded this to my editor...thanks for pointing it out. It's certainly an error made by whoever did the Kindle-encoding.

Even when this gets fixed in future e-books downloads, I'm not sure the best way to get it fixed for you...that's probably a question for Amazon. Pretty much all I can offer to do is send you a paper copy, which presumably you don't want or you wouldn't have bought the Kindle version!

That said, Maphead now has a 2-star Amazon review because of your review...and you haven't even read the book! This is pretty clearly an issue for customer service, not for a book review.

Perhaps you will get a better review if Mr. Brust sends you his Kindle to have it signed...

Sorry, I thought I was reviewing just the Kindle version (Kindle=Amazon=Review) - I'll see if I can edit it...
